In today's video, I put my Toyota Tacoma to the side and spend a week in a 2024 TRD Pro 4Runner! Despite being very similar vehicles, this was quite the change for me. But I certainly enjoyed doing everything I normally do in my truck, with this SUV instead. These are my thoughts about the 4Runner... what are yours?!

As a 2023 4Runner owner, I can confidently say that it’s a beast. I have driven it on snowy mountains and on Moab trails, and it’s STOCK! Even though the new one is coming out soon, the one I own has gain my trust tenfold so I wouldn’t trade it for the world!

I just picked up a 24 Pro 4Runner in Underground. I’m upgrading from a 21 SR5 Premium 4Runner. These are the best road trip vehicles I’ve ever owned. Add in the off-road ability and old school Toyota reliability and it’s my favorite vehicle I’ve ever owned. Plus you can get Pro’s on the east coast for MSRP or under.

@kilobear9157 4 месяца назад

Damn Chole you forgot about the most important feature of the 4Runner the powered rear window. I love that feature on the 4Runner drop the front windows and hit the rear and let all that stale air out. If you got some pups load them up and let them drool out the rear window. It's whole different feeling with that rear powered window when driving, comes in handy. If my 2008 FJ Cruiser TT had that feature I would be content. If I ever got another vehicle it would definitely be the 4Runner just the fact that everything is inside and accessible.

Use the 4Runner for everyday errands, to the dog park and when the weather is at its worst. The 4Runner goes through anything.

I have a lifted 2021 Tacoma and my mom has a stock 2023 4Runner. Both are trd off-road 4x4 models. I enjoy both of the vehicles and each have their purpose. The 4Runner fits my mom’s needs more than the Tacoma because she is always transporting our dogs and other passengers so the back seat room is great! She also kept it stock because the suspension is very soft and comfortable. I use my truck to transport furniture and other appliances while also off-roading it pretty hard once a month. I also never have passengers in my backseats so the lack of leg room doesn’t cause any issues.

We have both. A 21 TRD off-road Tacoma and a 22 TRD off-road 4Runner. They are both super low mileage and we drive them for a “Sunday drive” occasionally. I love my Tacoma because I have put a lot of sweat and tears into mods and upgrades. But my 4Runner rides and drives so much better than my truck that lags and has gear hunting tendencies. ❤ love the channel

@preacherman85379 4 месяца назад

I bought my 4Runner TRD pro last month, same color, I traded in my 2018 Taco TRD off road. I had a neck fusion (c5 to c7) and the 4 runner is much easier to get in and out of for me. Ive lost a few MPGs, but the overall ride is much smoother. My wife has a 2020 Tundra TRD off road so we still have a truck. I paid 39k for my Taco and got 30.2 k after 6 years. The shorter wheel base is also a plus for the 4Runner.

As a Jeep owner of a Wrangler and a Grand Cherokee, I have been looking at the 4Runner for a while and your channel along with this video really has sold me on getting the TRD Pro. I struggle on if I wait to see what the 2025 model may offer or if just make the jump and get a 2024. I was hoping there would be a video of some sneak peeks of the 2025 but, way too early for that.

IMHO hope you can reach out to Toyota and snag an MSRP-or-better deal on a 24 Taco. There are already 15yrs of 5th gen 4Runner content on RU-vid. You do a great job reviewing/documenting modifications on these and imagine you'll see much better subscriber/revenue opportunities with a 4th gen Taco. It's nice to see mod content from your perspective where you keep daily-driveability in the equation.

So far, I love the improved ride overall. Still getting used to a few things but the transition is easier since both vehicles are laid out similarly. BTW, you’re right about the window switches.

I bought a used 2010 Limited 4x4 4Runner a little over a year ago. As soon as I got it I started thinking i should have went with a Tacoma. Shortly after was rear-ended. While she was in the shop I rented a brand new 4x4 Tacoma. I had 2 different Tacomas over the almost 3 months the Runner was in the shop. About 6,500 miles. I no longer have any second thoughts about going with the 4Runner. The Taco's are cool for sure, but 4Runner for the win in my opinion.

@TheReligiousLeft 4 месяца назад

I have a Tacoma but we got a 4runner for our family car. The second row is very generous and allows for baby seats comfortably. The more narrow wheel base makes it relatively more capable on the rock crawling without as much of a lift. We also got a KDSS version which is pretty great. It corners like a champ on road and gets crazy good articulation off road.

@OutdoorTraditions 4 месяца назад

Great video! Thanks for sharing your all around thoughts on the 4Runner, and not giving us another suspension breakdown video haha. My family is growing and need something bigger than my truck. This seems to be one of the best options. Not crazy about the mpg, but to be realistic not sure if i want to wait for the Land Cruiser to be available, If it ever is, by the sounds of it. Cheers!

@dustygold3032 4 месяца назад

I purchased a 2022 4Runner and really have no regrets. I wanted a third row, so mine is a Premium. Toyotas quality and reliability sold me. I know it has all the capabilities that I’ll need and confident it will get me where I want go. I did look at the Tacoma’s, but I own a 1999 Chevy Silverado. I just might sell that and get a Tacoma in the future. I’ll have to see how the new remodel does over time regarding the bugs of the new change, especially the four turbo engine. Enjoy your videos!

I’m thinking because I’m older I’m thinking I just want a luxury ride in a sense but drive high like a truck. A 4Runner is looking good in that aspect for me.

I was up in the air between the two but a 2023 Off Road 4Runner became available at my local dealership at a great price and I picked it up quick. It has been awesome! Only big upgrade so far was the tires. Took it to Moab and the 4Runner killed it and was amazingly capable of anything I asked it to do. I came from a Dodge Dakota with a V8 so I definitely notice a difference in climbing the mountains in CO but the 4Runner does great at higher RPM and just takes getting used to.

I bought a new off road premium 4runner, in January. I'm old, (80), so I wanted a vehicle with known, good reliability, as I'm also handicapped. I only drive on regular roads, but love to watch overlanding videos, something I'm unable to now do. My son, has a 30 month old, off road Toyota tacoma, it has 35,000 miles, with just regular services, and no issues. I decided on my vehicle due to the reliability of Toyota's and, also, watching, Lifestyle overland who drives a 4runner with high mileage, over every type of terrain, and a similar size Lexus. People complain about poor gas mileage, I find this strange as, I see most drivers, driving at 80 mph here in the US, on 55 mph roads, while, seemingly, only getting about 10 or 12 miles to the gallon driving off road? I normally drive at the speed limit, or 5 over, I'm averaging 20 mpg since purchse, after 600 miles.

Recently I purchased my “ retirement” vehicle. It was a difficult decision choosing between a Taco and a 4Runner. In the end, I decided on a 4Runner. Given the grandkids and our retirement plans of an I-81 and Route 66 tour, that tipped the scales. Also, I ended up getting an 02 Taco so that figured in as well. Can’t go wrong with either.

Probably swap out the 2023 Outback Wilderness for next gen 4Runner and keep the Taco which I love.

Having owned and travelled in/offroaded in 4 Land Cruisers and and an FJC over the past 28 years (owned my 80 series for over 20 years alone) we replaced the 80 with a ‘23 4Runner even with the new Lsnd Cruiser announced. The old school nature of it, the rude quality, the interior space, and most importantly the proven durability of these things is more important to us than extra technology and turbocharged power. The most recent updates in these 5th gen’s have all the modern safety and tech features I could want. From an owning and using a vehicle for 20 years type of stand point there is no other current vehicle in the market I would consider.

I had a 2023 Tacoma TRD Pro that I traded for a 2024 4-Runner TRD Pro. I don’t really have a need to haul items that require a truck bed, except mountain bikes. The bikes wouldn’t fit in the 5’ bed, yet have a Thule, so no big deal. I had previously owned a 2015 4-runner off road with KDSS for eight years. I feel like the Tacoma Pro was more exciting to drive off road and loved the visual on the shocks, yet the wheelbase made parking more difficult. I missed my old 4-Runner as was more practical for my needs. I like the indoor cargo area, instead of buying a bed cover. I like the shorter wheelbase and less shifting on hills. I’m glad I made the switch after 7 months back to the 4-Runner.

I recently tried switching from a TRD OR 3rd gen Tacoma to a TRD Pro 4R. I'm now back in a TRD OR Tacoma. I have a utility trailer, so I thought I wouldn't miss the bed. I was wrong. You don't realize how often you just throw shit in the bed that you either dont want inside, or wont fit. The head unit is comically bad. To the point of making the 360 cams nearly useless. It's SUPER picky on tire/wheel balance. Wheel shake is almost a constant at 60. I'm used to bad MPGs, but the 4R is abysmal at all but 60mph flat road. I was getting 12-14 in town. The 6 speed in the Tacoma is a lot smoother than the 5 speed. 4R doesnt like hilly interstate. Dropping into 4th puts the 4R in higher RPM, which isn't ideal for comfort or MPGs. The 5th and 6th OD gearing in Tacoma handles higher speed better. Lastly, for some reason the 4R seems to suffer from heat-soak pretty bad with AC - where the Tacoma is consistently colder. I'm mainly focusing on the negatives of why I ultimately like the Tacoma better, but the 4R is still the best body-on-frame SUV you can buy. I still love the looks of it, and it's super comfortable to drive in most circumstances.

Love the rear seat legroom so do any of the times I have had passengers versus the Tacoma. I didn't really need a truck bed so this is perfect for me plus the rear seats in the 4Runner also recline if you did not know that. Love them both.

I own a 2016 Black 4Runner Premium 2WD with all the chrome badging and I love it. I only have 62,550 miles on it. What sold me on the 4Runner to begin with for over 25 years is the roll down back window. Growing up my parents owned a 1980 Jeep Cherokee Chief and the back window rolled down. I always thought that was the frickin coolest thing ever, so when I finally restored my credit and was making really good money I jumped head first and bought a brand new 4Runner in 2016. I have been thinking lately of trading it in on a brand new 2024 4Runner either a Limited, TRD Off-Road Premium and it will be a 4X4 this time. Figured I better get it now before they switch to turbo 4-cyl.

My buddy has a 4Runner and it’s comfortable, and very off road capable! I really like it, however I’d probably buy a Tacoma, especially a 24 with the coil sprung rear end. The down side to the 4Runner is carrying capacity. For a day trip we bring a medium sized cooler, his recovery kit, a couple of totes of hunting gear, pew pews, and a couple small duffel bags of clothes for the weather. That fills the back space up. To get to stuff you are shifting things around and it’s kind of a pain. If there is a third person it’s even more packed. If we are camping we bring my truck because we pack more stuff. Yes, we can fold the back seats down in the 4 Runner, but it just gets tight. With a Tacoma that stuff would lay out in the bed and be easier to access . You can have the same system as you have in your Tacoma with recovery gear, air pumps, first aid kits. Then set your cooler, totes of gear on the top. Or, you could get a shell, or a flat bed cover. There are more options for the truck. I know you can get a roof rack, but those might limit your ability to park in the garage, or go through car washes. It’s great to have choices because both of these vehicles are outstanding and offer fantastic off road capabilities right off the dealership floor. (You may have to upgrade the stock tires to something better suited for off roading depending on the package you purchased.)

Nice video Chole. With the Taco being built in Mexico and the 4Runner being built in Japan, did you notice a fit and finish between the two? Also what's you thoughts on the Terra color? Do you like it? I am looking at selling my white 2021 4Runner TRD ORP and getting a Terra 2024 4Runner TRD Pro.

I have both and there are many differences which many have talked about. The shorter wheel base to me makes the Tacoma better in the snow if you live in such an area.

Was thinking about getting a 4 runner last year to replace my 2006 Highlander Sport (272K + miles) until my wife found a new Camry. She did hand down her 2019 Highlander XLE to me, so I don’t think I did to bad. 😂😂 I will say I like that color‼️

Get the TRD Off-Road with KDSS (Only trim to be offered KDSS). The TRD Pro exhaust is exhausting (pun intended). If you like to listen to podcasts and audiobooks, they will be hard to hear over the constant rumble of the loud TRD Pro exhaust.

Tacoma is better for most people who will want to do activities off the pavement. Because that truck bed will get more use than you can even imagine once you start going off-road or camping or anything rly lol. If you’re pretty much always gonna be on the pavement and occasionally want to take your truck on the beach or something the forerunner is also great but that truck is just so freaking useful for so many different things.

Such a coincidence that I bumped into this video. Im currently going back and forth with the same dilemma as well. I currently own a 23 Tacoma TRD Pro in Solar Octane, but im just in love with the 4Runner. I got offered a 24 4Runner TRD Pro in the same Terra color in the video, with a nearly $3000 reduction in MSRP. I just got my Tacoma a couple months ago, but its seems like an offer that is hard to avoid. I recently spoke to the salesman today verifying that the offer is still available. The vehicle wont be available til next month, so it gives me time to sell my Tacoma. I just cant get ripped off anymore with trade in's, especially as a title holder, and a truck in high demand.

I just switched from a 21 LR TRD Pro Tacoma to a 24 Underground TRD Pro and I'm not looking back. Wish the Gen 3 had the same drive train as the 4Runner.

Just put down a deposit on a 24 4Runner Terra.. been driving a 22 Tacoma Pro. Should be in, in the next week. Wished I lived where you live.. you have to drive hours here in the east coast to find dirt.

Hello Chloe, I kept both. As a home owner, you always need a truck. Plus, my daughter will inherit the 2018 Tacoma in 5 years. My son will inherit the 2023 4Runner in 12 years lol

Thanks for the cruise control tip. I’m sick of my 4Runner hitting the brakes a mile away from another car.

@huronv9500 4 месяца назад

I am sure you know this, but you can also override the adaptive cruise by holding the on bottom in until it shows regular/old fashion cruise on the dash.
